A/N: Hi everyone, this is the first chapter of the new story featuring the characters of All Dogs Go To Heaven 1,2 and series. I'm already working on a big project at the Kung Fu Panda archive, but me and author Charlie B. Barkin will be working along intensely on the advance of this story. Almost everyone knows how the series went waaayy different from the movies, especially the second, and how the second movie came out a bit different from the first. Our intentions here is to make a remake. :P A FULL remake of the series from the second movie end BUT using as basis what happened on the first movie, which will NOT be forgotten. Saying this just means that we'll see almost every character since the first film. The story develops from where the series starts.

We know the number of current episodes and all, but then the personalities of our characters(at least few of them) was somewhat changed. Our intention is to make things sound a bit more convincing when we relate it to the movies. This job will be extensive and harsh, and might take time due the fact I'm already working on a 90 chapter story soo...we'll do our best to honor what All Dogs Go To Heaven means for all of us. We'll do our best to not make use of oc's whatsoever and we'll rate this T for now.

Life for Charlie B. Barkin had change dramatically on the last week. After saving heaven from red's malevolent plan the German Sheppard was given another chance of life on earth. Of course that was everything he wanted after so many years on heaven while 'living' with that feeling of emptiness. Though Charlie never liked Carface he was internally glad that the bulldog stole Gabriel's horn. That was the chance Charlie waited so long to take advantage of. Annabelle has always been sweet towards the Sheppard but she never really understood how he really felt, she never figured out how unhappy Charlie has been. It seem unlikely for her to believe someone could actually be unhappy in heaven. Charlie knew heaven was a great place, but not perfect. Nothing was.

He could say that many things he saw in his life both on heaven and earth were extraordinary, but nothing came close from the way he felt after he saw Sasha La Fleur for the first time. The feeling of emptiness he always felt on heaven suddenly became clear after that moment, finally he understood what he was missing on heaven. She was the 'angel' he always waited for to find.

After the Red incident and returning to Earth he immediately joined by her side and also of the boy David. It amazed Charlie of how much she took care of this human since the day she found him after he ran away from his parents. David grow to like her and Charlie a lot and took they in after he returned home, much to his parents relieve.

It's been a week since Annabelle gifted Charlie with this new life. The German Sheppard was motivated enough to enjoy it most as possible, because he totally did not want to go back to heaven...at least not alone.

Though the fact that Itchy was up there made him feel less afraid of going back. Charlie felt a bit disappointed that Itchy decided to stay in heaven, but then it was Itchy's decision and it was the way he wanted after all. Itchy could be happy in heaven, Charlie never managed to get close to that feeling while up there.

So many years living among the clouds only thinking on how Anne-Marie would be doing in life. The only reason why Charlie didn't neglect heaven again was because the other option would be Hell itself. Honestly Charlie did not like both of them, but then, heaven was more likely a way better choice than the other one. The few brief hours Charlie pass in Hell were traumatizing enough for him to wish fiercely to never go back there again, no matter what.

For so many times Charlie though with sadness about the great life he had at New Orleans, everything was going so well for him there. He had Itchy, his friends, his family...

Another painfully though was Charlie's parents. They never knew what happened with their son till few years later. The news saddened them greatly, but didn't shock so much as expected. Charlie wished deeply for months to see them again and tell them how sorry he was for all the wrong things he did. More than anything he wanted to be at the side of his mother. Never anyone besides her manage to make Charlie so comfortable and safe like she could do when he was a young pup.

Another thing that Charlie always though about while in heaven where his years as a little pup. Curiously Charlie was the only son that Burt and Loni had. The German Sheppard reminded himself occasionally, while smiling, the times he would chase his father's tail to play, those times that his father would be able to play with him since most occasions he would be out there on the streets. Charlie's mother Loni A. Bowzer was the great responsible for planting inner goodness into Charlie.

Despite Charlie coming across great times with his father when still a pup after few months he slowly grew distant of him, Charlie never wondered about why he never tried a re-approach.

"Charlie?You ok?"

A sweet voice came into his long ears. Charlie shifted his head slowly to see the face of the love of his live looking at him with sweetness concern.

"It's nothing," Charlie replied while forcing a smile to make her less worried. Sasha stared at him with doubt, Charlie kept his uncaring smile hoping she wouldn't stare at him for much longer. Seeing no change on Charlie's expression Sasha slowly placed her head above his hind leg. After she closed her eyes Charlie gazed back at the wooden floor while resting his head back at the floor. His faked smiled dissipated in a flash.

It's not like he was worried at all. It's just that all he went through on those last decades felt like...a torture.

But now he had a second chance to start all over again, and a long time to live forward, forget about the past and move on.

He couldn't.

Everything that happened in the past felt like haunting him into his dreams and every moment of peace, forgetting the past was impossible for Charlie Barkin, no matter how much he wanted to look forward everything at the back would keep sending chills into his spine. Each chill filled with memories of the past laying into the back of his mind. Why couldn't he let it go?

The more Charlie though about it the more anxious he felt about this matter, and over forty years in heaven didn't make it any better.

Fifty years. Charlie felt utter shocked when he learned for how long he stayed at heaven before coming back, it wasn't apparent in heaven as time goes by. After learning about how long he was dead Charlie felt another huge wonder growing into him along the last he didn't saw his parents coming into heaven?And how it was possible that Itchy lived for so long? Dogs would barely live twenty years counting on human aging time. How it was possible that Itchy lived over the double time of that?And why Charlie never saw his parents at Heaven?

All those question he made for himself never came across anyone else, specifically Annabelle. She was the one aware of Heaven's 'traffic'. Charlie never bothered to ask since he was too bored with himself and heaven to even think about it.

Another thing that Charlie hated on Heaven was that he had to spent time with the only person that was more like him. Carface.

It seemed like a bad joke that things went such way. The one who killed him, and clearly tried to kill him countless times to be the one that Charlie would have to spent the eternity talking with. Charlie never forgot what Carface did to him and Anne-Marie, but then he was forced to stay with Carface otherwise he would have lost his mind way much earlier.

Having though about such Charlie also wondered why he never saw Killer too. He wondered what happened with him?Did Annabelle said with honesty that all fogs go to heaven?Then why he spent his time with Carface instead of Itchy, or Killer, or his parents?

Questions and question, one rousing around the other more and more than ever. Charlie knew that one day he will have to ask that to Annabelle, she was the only one who could give him the answer. Charlie knew that he will never live peacefully until he figures that out.

In the mean time he would comfortably rest near Sasha in a very comfy manner. How amazing was this sensation of being with someone else this near. The closest he got from that feeling being...

Charlie closed his eyes with another agonizing though of the past.

Flo...

The lovely and gently collie always struck a special feeling into Charlie, making his softness hiding inside of him come out quickly as a thunderbolt. Charlie never denied to himself...he loved her.

But being in the business area he was would make quite difficult for Charlie to bring her with him, neither the pups. Despite everything people said about him Charlie was aware of the low life he was carrying. Smoking, gambling, and several other things that Charlie called life were totally unfitting for family interests.

Charlie always played with the possibility of leaving all that behind and taking a step forward on his relation with Flo, but perhaps the fear of becoming like his father may have stopped him from moving on.

"Hey Charlie, you two need anything?" Another voice suddenly popped into Charlie's ears. Slowly he moved his head around to see David wearing his pijamas and getting ready to sleep.

"Nah, we're good, thanks David," Charlie replied tiredly. David nodded while moving upstairs.

"Okay, have a good night,"

After he disappeared on the upper floor Charlie returned to his previous position. Another curious thing after his return was the fact that Charlie still could talk with humans, and Sasha too. Why of that he only could wonder. David and Sasha agreed on not talking loud with other people around, it could make things difficult for Charlie and Sasha if David's parents find out their dogs could talk.

Besides all that subject about the past Charlie suddenly received another dose of concern, this time from Sasha.

The Irish female wanted to work in that Flea Bite that she usually would go in sometimes to perform her singing, but this time she intended to own that establishment and manage it herself. She spent almost an hour talking about of how much she loved that place since she was a pup, which gave Charlie wonders about her past as well.

Charlie wanted to argue about that idea, but he notice how much meaningful it was for Sasha and Charlie wanted to make her happiest as possible. With some hesitation he agreed on helping her with that wish. To be honest Charlie was personally overjoyed with this. The old Charlie could just quite hanging on the streets and stop being the show off he used to be.

But then Sasha had no idea of how to gather enough to buy the Flea Bite, Charlie knew it would cost a lot taking into consideration that the actual owner was famous for the 'higher price' style.

As usual it would be a matter for Charlie to solve, but right now the Sheppard wasn't concerned about that. The Flea Bite was Sasha's biggest ambition, but for Charlie that will be a future thing to deal with. The only thing the Sheppard wanted right now was to sleep a very comfortable and relaxing...

"Charlie?Charlie!Charlie can you hear me?!"

Another voice, a loud and female one coming out of nowhere. He instantly recognized that voice and felt the chills coming above his spine. A voice Charlie though he would only hear again on a very distant future, at least for a dog.

"A-Anna...Annabelle?Wha...where are you?" Charlie asked while looking around rapidly, his sudden commotion awoke Sasha.

"Charlie?What's wrong?" She asked noticing how scared her mate was.

"I..I heard Annabelle's voice..." Charlie said while still looking around trying to find the origin of it. Sasha was stunned.

"Annabelle?But how?I though you won't be seeing her again for a long time," She asked while also getting up on her four and looking at the living room as if expecting to see the whippet coming out of it by magic.

"I thought I wouldn't...I don't know," Charlie said with apprehension.

"Charlie?Can you hear me?" Annabelle's voice came again confirming the couple worst's fears.

"Annabelle?Where are you?" Charlie asked while looking everywhere, even the upper wall.

"You won't be able to see me, but you can hear me clearly," She explained with a chuckle.

"Ahn, ok...so...what's up?" Charlie asked with a hint of sarcasm. Sasha tried to hide the fact she laughed at his cheap joke. They heard Annabelle make a sound of annoyance. Obviously she understood the joke and probably she should expect that. The annoyed sign was because she hoped that Charlie would've quite with the old habits by now, he always liked to make jokes about heaven to 'entertain' those who were about to enter it.

"Everything here is fine Charles, what about you?Are you doing fine?" Annabelle asked gently.

"Yeah, couldn't be better," Charlie said while looking at Sasha with a smile.

"That's nice to hear. I'll need to talk with you very soon again, there's some things we need to discuss."

"Hum...ok?" Charlie said surprise by that.

Silence.

"Annabelle?" The Sheppard called. No answer."Yep, she's gone."

"What do you think she want to talk about with you?" Sasha asked coming to his side. Charlie shrugged.

"I don't know, but we'll find out soon,"

Whatever the whippet could have in this mind now really didn't bothered Charlie, so far everything was fine, hardly he believed his life would be affected again by anything related with Heaven again.

Oh boy, how wrong he was...
